Zagreb Climate & Weather

Zagreb Climate and Weather

The climate varies quite substantially between the Croatian
coastal regions and the interior. The climate of Zagreb is
continental, with four separate seasons. Summers (June to August)
are hot and dry, and winters (November to February) are cold. The
average temperature in winter is 34°F (1°C) and the average
temperature in summer is 68°F (20°C), although it can get
much hotter. In fact, the interior can feel much hotter than the
coast due to the lack of cool sea breezes. The end of May,
particularly, gets very warm, with temperatures rising to 86ºF
(30°C) and up. Snowfall is common in the winter months, from
December to March, and rain and fog are common in autumn (September
to November).

The most popular time to visit Zagreb is in the peak summer
months, when tourists are flocking to Croatia for the sun and sea
on the coast. Possibly the best time to visit the city, however, is
in spring (March to April) when the weather is slightly less hot
and the city is less crowded and usually less expensive.
